11:55 p.m.-30 November-99

You were looking beautiful

More than you ever had

Just one look would have been enough

To drive anyone mad

It was the birthday party of those two

Those two our common friends

I had to be there at the same time as you

And wish that our friendship mends

That saffron salwaar kameez

And around your arm that metal band

Suited you like stars in the sky

Or like bright sunshine on sand

And it was your good luck that

You were sitting as far as you could sit

Lucky of course you were to get a place

Where I could trouble you not a bit

And my bad luck

I couldn’t even give a complement to you

Being scared of the same damn things, you know

Sigh…how I feel, only if you knew

My heart cried as I smiled every time

But I knew I had to control my eyes

So I had to pretend

And get on face, a few lies

But as I moved towards my home

Control my eyes, I could no more

So hiding from those friends a few

I cried, as a piece of a torn heart tore

Now I am home

My eyes full

Not being able to talk to you

Or friends any other

Believe me, I know where I stand

And that I don’t deserve a girl like you

But I am sure you wouldn’t deny my friendship

If inside of my heart, you knew
